Talk:South African Communist Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How many SACP MPs are there elected on the ANC ticket? I know the former premier of the Northern Cape province was an SACP member, but I'd be curious to know how strong a player this represents within the ANC parliamentary caucus. Cheers, QuartierLatin1968 17:22, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion

This line at the end of the second paragraph confuses me: "By 1948 the Party had officially abandoned the Native Republic policy." This does not fit with the rest of the paragraph saying that the SACP was trying to better support the Blacks.

[edit] Chris Hani

Before Chris Hani was asassinated he was elected on the ANC ticket and later appointed Secretary General of the SACP. When interviewed by the SABC and asked how he reconciled holding these two positions with his democratic ideals, or did they mean communist ideals?, he said that they "we" were using democracy at the moment, but would "change modality later" (his words..). Makes you think, does it not? Gregorydavid 07:47, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What eventually led to the end of Apartheid rule

I cut this out of the edit history for convenience: "11:48, 31 March 2006 User:Kjetor (New National Party formed after 94, not before, hence I deleted part of the sentence dealing with the National Party)."

I agree with what you have done even though I appear to have contributed the bit you changed.. There were initiatives on all sides to move the process forward. In government circles we had Group Affairs (the grey haired afrikaans academic).. and also de Klerk appearing on SABC TV at an early Potch meeting persuading nats why we have to change the system..
